w ?Y<#u can talk 'about fbx-hunting, sir, but
I defy any man to prove that he has been on
aihlggesfchnt than the one I rode in in the
fell qf'Xfc, by***!'!
The jjofoiW was speaking. Major Hugee,
Squire Hammond, and Lank Smollet were
listening. All were whittling.
"Was that the hunt that killed your Ken- i
tucky mare, colonel ?" asked Lank.
"No, sir; it was not. That hunt took
place two years later, and was ridden under
yqry different circumstances, sir; very different,
indeed. This hunt, to which I just
now alhided, sir, took place, as I said before,
in.the fail of '56, and was the most wonderftil
hunt I have ever seen in the whole of my
wide and varied experience?very wide ex-1
perienoe, sir," .and the colonel paused impressively.
The squire fidgeted in his seat, took out
his plug of tobacco, and after all had partaken
nf the wplmmp refreshment, returned it
to his pocket and gazed expectantly at the
oetaael. As the latter did not break the rapfcttv
gathering silence, the squire said, with
, gjSeprecating wave of the hand:
^ ^(ifColonel, would you mind relating to us
; tho circumstances of that hunt ?"
'"Not at all, sir; not at all," replied the
objbael; "that is if the other gentlemen
piiafeent desire to hear it."
The other gentlemen assured the colonel
that nothing would or could delight them
better. Whereupon he pulled his white
mustache thoughtfully, and began:
"It was, as I have said, in the October of
'56, just after Squire Hammond was sent to
the legislature. My father, Judge Legare,
sir, who was then the wealthiest man in the
whole State of Georgia?the whole State,
sir?was so pleased at the squire's election,
that he announced his intention, sir, to give
the biggest fox-hunt that had ever been seen
in the entire South, sir, by gad !
"Accordingly, and at great expense to
himself?great expense, sir, but money was
no object to the Legares in those days?he
bought all of the fox-hounds to be obtained in
the- country, and had them sent to his plantation.
He also purebased a large consignment
of blooded horses, which were, individually
and oollectively, the finest animals
that I have ever seen, sir, by gad ! in any
part of America. There were two hundred
of them, all magnificently strong in both
shoulder and hind-quarters, swift as the fastest1
locomotive on the Georgia Central.
"The day of the hunt opened fine and
clear?so clear that the qutlines of the Blue
Ridge were distinctly visible to the naked eye.
There was just enough breeze to color the
cheeks of the ladies, and by gad! a handsomer
set of women would have been hard
to find in any of the courts of Europe, sir!
Women in those days were women, and not
afraid to ride the' most vicious beasts that
ever were saddled.
"My father had invited all of the aristocratic
people in the State, so that there were
nearly a thousand men and women, sir?
ftilly a thousand, in fact?who followed the
hounds upon the 'Great Legare Hunt,' as it
was known for many years afterward. Besides,
there were my father's own one hundred
and. fifty niggers and two hundred
more who were the servants of the guests.
Our house was so crowded that all of the
servants had to sleep in tents out in the big
meadows and the nigger quarters were fitted
up for the accommodation of some male
guests. The friendship of the Legare family,
sir, was much sought after in those days.
"Never, sir, if I live to be one thousand
years old, will I forget the grandly magnificent
sight which was spread out before my
eyes when I rode out into the wide avenue
before the house, and bowed to the assembled
multitude. I was the heir-apparent of
the Legare fqmily, and a very important
person, sifr' iery important, indeed. There
was ^ a lady present who would not havfc
felt herself honored, sir, highly honored, by
a salute from my lfpk I was the sole heir
?: i a? 1
VO one tuuuaiuiu acres, nuu uve uuuuicu
valuable niggers, sir, and I could have married
any woman there for the asking."
The colonel paused and brushed the long
hair back from his forehead, while the other
three great men gazed admiringly upon their
chief! '
"We started" out, sir", before six o'clock in
the tnoruipg, Ntf th a great blare of horns and
loud cheers from the niggers who were left
behind to watch the house. About a mile
from the mansion, the fox?a great, big,
black fellow, sassy as a nigger in a melon
patch?was started in a pile of underbrush,
and the six hundred hounds were off" in full
cry with the best riders a rod or so behind.
In those days, sir, gentlemen rode with the
hounds, not after them.
"Away we went, helter skelter, and devil
take the hindmost, over zigzag fences and
underbrush, through piney woods and
plouigl^ fields! with a dozen horns echoing
ancFTOefchefDg*' from woods to hill-tops,
which were just tipped with the gold of
the rising sun."
Here the colonel paused again, in order
that his hearers might frilly digest his bit of
poetry, and whittled away two sticks before
he began again.
"Those were the days, sir, when riding
was riding. There were no confounded
'English mount' then, with three feet of daylight
between rider and saddle at every
jump.: The man who couldn't stick closely
to his saddle in trot, lope, or gallop, sir, was
considered an abject fool, by gad ! and would
be hooted from any assembly of good horsemen.
On we went, neck or nothing, leaping
brooks twenty feet wide, sir?yes, and thirty,
too?like squirrels; and never turning
aside for the highest wall that was ever
built. Fast! Why, we went so fast, sir,
that we could see the air go by, and the sur
rounding landscape was just one long blur
from start to finish.
"We had gone about ten miles, sir, when
we felt little pieces of fur or hair flying
against oar faces. They stung cur skins as
they flew against it, and we wondered where
on earth they could come from. But we
kept right on, only two hundred of us by
that time, for most of the ladies and some of
the men were out of sight. But there werd
still more than two hundred of us racing
closet together,;breathless with excitement
and dizzy with the rushing of the air. It
was grandly terrible!
"All of a sudden the hounds, that had
nevpr been out of our sight for an instant,
stopped short. We had passed several dozen
of them at various points along the road,
where they were lying dead, but supposed
that they had dropped under the frightful
strain of the race. But we were mistaken.
"When, a minute later, we came up with
the hounds, we saw the fox lying dead in
the middle of the road with several hundred
hounds around him. To our great
astonishment we saw that he had been completely
skinned from tail to tip. and upon
examining his legs we found that they had
been worn off nearly to the knee. Then it
was, sir, that we discovered where the bits
of ftir came from that flew in our faces. The
fox had run so fast that his legs had been i
partly worn away, and the friction of the air
had actually flayed him alive!"
The colonel stopped. Major Hugee started
to speak, but changed his mind. The
squire leaned forward and drew figures in
the dust with his coach-whip. All remained
silent for several minutes.
Then Lank Smollet spoke:
"Colonel, what killed the dogs ?"
"It was a very remarkable thing, sir," replied
the colonel, "very remarkable, indeed !
The only dogs that we found dead were those
of the Richmond kennel, that always had to
wear metal collars to comply with a State
tax law. The friction of the air had made
the collars red hot, and, by gad! sir, the
hounds had been burned to death !"
Vkby Sticky.?A New York gentleman, j
recently back from a trip through the West,:
was telling some of his friends at the club !
about his adventure with a gang of highway- j
men in Kansas. According to his own ver-1
sion of the affair, he played a very brave
part?so brave, indeed, that the robl>ers, i
well-armed as they were, were soon glad to j
get away in the the darkness. He would I
have pursued them, but it was raining, and |
the mud was horrible.
When asked why he did not get officers
and follow the thieves the next day, he replied
that he did ; that is to say, he tried to ;
do so, but could find no trail.
"Why, how was that ?" asked one of the 1
listeners. "I thought you said it was horri-,
bly muddy. The robbers must have left;
tracks enough."
"So it would seem," answered the hero of
the story; "but you see, the mud out there is
so sticky that the rascals' tracks stuck fast
to their feet, and they carried them away i
with them." j

EARLY RISING AND LONGEVITY.
Professor Humphrey's recent "Collective
Investigation Report on Aged Persons" contains
some very positive evidence on a matter
which has already engaged the attention
of moralists as well as physicians. "The
opportunity for nutrition to do its. restorative
work was in nearly all provided by the faculty
of 'good sleeping,' to which was commonly
added its appropriate attendant, the habit
of early rising.'" Thus there is a relation
between early rising and longevity. No
doubt many people will hastily seize upon
the sentence first quoted, and employ it in
edifying lectures or essays for the perusal of
youth, or embody it in popular medical
works. Important qualifications follow in
Dr. Humphrey's report, but they are likely
to be overlooked. Doubtless the habit of
early rising is, in itself, healthy; most of all,
it is a good sign of health when it evidently
signifies rapid recovery from fatigue. Again,
it usually denotes a strong will, the gift, as
a rule, of a good physical constitution, or at
least the safeguard of average bodily strength.
Late risers are generally, either invalids or
persons of bad habits, idlers who are never
? i ? ?_n
free from otner vices Desuies mieiiess. me
nervous exhaustion which keeps a man wakeful
throughout the small hours produces
sleep late in the morning. This exhaustion
is invariably due to one of several life-shortening
influences, especially anxiety or indiscretion
in diet or drink. Early rising is
thus rather one effect of certain favorable
influences, another result of which is longevity,
than a cause of longevity. To turn a
weakly man out of bed every morning at
seven o'clock will not prolong his life. It
will be noted that by "good sleeping," Professor
Humphrey signifies quick sleeping,
"that is, the reparative work which has to
be done in sleep is done briskly and well."
Here, again, we have an effect of a cause;
but preventing a weakly subject from sleeping
more than four or five hours nightly
would not cause him to live long, but would
rather tend to shorten his life. Equally important
are Professor Humphrey's observations
which show that by "early" he does
not entirely mean the time by the clock.
The word "has a relative significance with
reference to the time of going to bed. A
person who retires to rest four hours after
midnight and gets up at 10 a. m., may be
strictly regarded as an 'early riser.' " Thus

tones with short sleeping, which means
rapid recovery from fatigue, a sign of bodily
strength. These scientific facts in no wise
j contradict the alleged value of early rising
as a practice to be cultivated by all persons
in good, health. It is excellent as moral discipline^
and eminently healthy as a matter of
fact. Most persons will eat three meals
daily. When a man gets up late those meals
will probably follow each other at too short
interval to be wholesome. When he is an
early riser it will probably be otherwise. He
can enjoy a good breakfast, and by the time
for his lunch or midday dinner he will have
an honest appetite again.?British Medical
Journal.
Good Roads.?Farmers are too apt to object
to a direct tax to build improved roads,
while, in the wear of wagons and the abuse
of stock, they are submitting to an enormous
indirect tax to have bad roads. This is just
the nature of all our evils. The burden of
the tariff comes at us, not directly, but covered
up in the purchases of masks?fortyI
seven per cent, of the amount paid going to
an indirect tax, and only fifty-three per cent,
being the legitimate purchasing price of the
article bought. The fanner very properly
objects to a tax of ten dollars to protect a
manufacturing establishment in the sale of
its products, and yet he quietly submits to
an indirect tax for the very same purpose by
allowing the government to increase the
price of the manufactured article to such an
extent as to demand more than double that
amount of tax in its increased sale. So we
find it with roads. The farmer objects violently
to paying a tax of twenty dollars to
establish a system of improved roads under
the direction of the State, and willingly accepts
bad roads under a self-imposed tax of
fifty dollars in the necessary wear and tear
of teams and loss of time, l>ecause of them.
This is a matter to be discussed by organized
farmers in the interest of economy. Shall
we have good roads under a reduced cost or
bad roads and pay the heavy penalty indirectly
under the losses on the farm ?
Outside the matter of money, the satisfaction
in traveling over good reads should be
some inducement to have them. The heaviest
cost would be in their original construction.
Once properly built they become, in a
measure, permanent. This subject is worthy
of agitation and action by the people.?

?
Care of Horses in Winter.?Every animal
of the horse kind should be comfortably
bedded every night during the winter, writes
L. F. Herrick in The Ploughman. It is
better to feed a smaller ration of grain and
give animals a comfortable bed, than to feed
more liberally and compel them to lie on a
hard floor wet from filth.
Colts should have outdoor exercise every
pleasant day, even though rhe mercury is
below zero. They should not be ullowed to
stuiid and get chilled, however.
There is no better way to properly understand
the position of others than to put yourself
in their place. This may be very aptly
applied in regard to your horses. If you
will get out of your vehicle some tune una
trot along 011 the dusty roads at about as
high rate of speed as you can go, you
may know how to sympathize with your
driving-horses. If you will put a big load
on a wheelbarrow, and push it through the
soft ground of a ploughed field all day, you
will know how to sympathize with the
horses which draw your ploughs, harrows,
etc., in cultivating your grain, or your reapers
and mowers in harvesting it. If you will
eat but one kind of diet three times a day
the year round, 110 matter how it agrees
with you, you Ivill know how your horses
feel when you feed grain three times a day
one season with another. If you will keep
your winter clothes on during the heat of
the summer, you will know how your horses
feel to have to work hard in the hot sun
with harness on that almost completely
covers them. There are a thousand and
one times in which your horses would receive
more consideration if you would only
stop and thiuk how you w >uld feel if you
were in their place.
How to Saddle a Horse.?"There is
only one way to put a saddle on a horse,"
says Col. Kearney. "I learned it when I
was a member of the Texas Rangers. It's a
little thing, but it is worth knowing. I used
to put my blanket on and it would look
1 smooth and nice. Then I would put the
saddle on and mount. After riding a few
miles I would find the saddle slipping further
and further back, and would find it necessary
finally to dismount and clinch up again, j
One day a cowboy said : 'Let me fix that;
saddle for you.' I got off and he put the!
blanket 011 just as I had done, and then;
the saddle. Then lie put his hands under the;
saddle and blanket, lifted them up and let |
them settle back into place. I found thut l
when this was done the saddle would stick i
for a forty mile ride."?-Kansas City Times.

at Sunday-school.

took up as much room on the bench us lie I
could and pretended to be looking at his!
book. But he was really thinking to him-i

going to give up this corner seat!"
Presently he peeped over the top of his!
book to see what had become of Harry. He j
was sitting at the other end of the bench by !
Charley Fay, who had squeezed himself intb !
as small a place as he could to make room j
for Harry. The two boys were talking and j
smiling and looking very happy. Eddie J
had plenty of room at his end of the bench, j
but somehow he didn't feel happy.

penny. Eddie saw it roll under the edge of,

Harry where it was, he turned around and '

here they are," and she gave them to Eddie.
Eddie ate one of the pears very quietly,
but he didn't seem to enjoy it as much as
Miss Can* expected he would. Mamma
noticed, too, that he was very quiet.
At bed-time mamma said to Eddie, as she
put her arm tenderly around him, "Has my
boy had a happy day ?"
"No," said Eddie, "and I wish Miss C'arr
didn't give me those pears, and I don't want
any more cream toast!"
"Why, Eddie," said mamma, "what
makes you talk so ?" ,
"Well, anyhow, everybody is doing 'whatsover
to me, and I didn't do it to Ham."
Mamma could not tell wliut Eddie.meant
till he pulled his card out of his pocket,
where he had put it after he came home from
Sunday-school, Then sshe reiul the verse,
and Eddie told her how he wouldn't move
up for Harry 01* tell him where his penny
was. "I expect he thought 1 was real mean,
too."
"Probably he thought very little about it,
Eddie," said mamma. "When we are unkind
it makes ourselves a great deal more
unhappy than it does any one else. Harry
found a good seat, but you, my dear child,
lost something that you did not find again?
the pleasure of being polite and kind. Every
time that you do an unkind act it makes
it easier to do it the next time; and if you
keep on reftwing to be kind and helpful f.o
others, your soul will grow crooked and unaiirlitlv
instead of noble and beautiful."
~"r? J ;
Eddie said that he wasn't going to keep
on refusing to be kind ; and I think he was
in earnest, for the very next Sunday he gave
the corner seat to little Harry.
How to Keep Friends.?This very practical
and wholesome advice, taken from The
Ladies' Home Journal, is worthy of careful
thought, and even of wider circulation than
it is receiving:
"A girl I know said, 'I'm a great one for
making friends.' It sounds as if she ought
to be very happy, but when I found a minute
to think, I wondered if she were good at
keeping them. Making friends is easy to the
girl who is bright and happy, whose society
gives pleasure and who is genial. But the
keeping of them demands more than this.
"If you want to keep a friend, do not get
too intimate with her.
"Huve your own thoughts, and permit her
to have hers.
''Do not demand too much of her in the
way of confidence.
"And do not be too aggressive, wanting
to know why she has not done this and why
she does not think us you do.
"If you think your friend's style of dress
is not beautiful, do not tell her; you only
offend her, because deep in her heari she is
convinced that she knows a great deal more
about it than you do.
"Do not find fault with your friend's
friend, and do not expect to be the only one
given a corner in her heart.
"Be us considerate of her feelings as if she
were a stranger, and remember that politeness
is an everyday garment, and not one
intended for only high days and holidays.
To sum it up in one sentence, preserve the
courtesy at the beginning if you wish to
keep your friendship to the end."
How he Won Success.?One of the noblest
men of the present century was the late
Lord Shaftesbury, of England. When a boy
he was brought up in a household that hated
religion; but lie had a faithful nurse, Maria
Mills by name, who trained him carefully in
a knowledge of the script tires. She died when
he was only seven years old, but he never
forgot her teachings, and used to say that
all the good in him was due to her influence.
The only watch lie ever carried was nor (tying
gift. He became one of the best friends
whom the poor of London ever knew. He
aided newsboys, bootblacks, chimney-sweeps. |
miners, and almost every class of labors in j
that great city. Of course be was greatly [
beloved, and he never hesitated to say that j
the secret of his success in life was owing to j
taking the Bible as his rule of conduct, j
Don't be afraid, boys, that being a Christian j
and studying the Bible will hinder yourj
getting on in life. The lives of the grandest
names prove the contrary.
j
What is thk Toncik Fok V?"Since (!od 1
made the tongue?and be never makes any j
thing in vain?we maybe sure he made it fori
some good purpose. What is it. then ?" asked
a teacher of her class.
"He made it that we may pray with it." answered
one boy.
"To sing with." said another.
"To talk to people with." said a third.
"To recite our lessons with." replied another.
"Yes; and I will tell you what be did not j
make it for. lie did not make it for us to
scold with, to lie with, or to swear with He
did not mean that we should say uiikimt or
foolish, indecent or impatient words with it.
Now, boys, think every time you use your
tongues if you are using them in the way
(Jod means you to. Do good with your
tongues, and not evil. It is one of the most
useful members in the whole body, although
it is so small. I'lease Cod with it every
day.''
Don't (latter yoiirselfthut friendship authorizes
you to.say disagreeble things to your
intimates. On the contrary, the nearer you
come into a relation with a person, the
more necessary do tact and courtesy become.

DO YOU
WANT IT ?
IT is our purpose to make another change in
our already very liberal offers to club makers, i
and we are convinced that the change will meet
with the approval of the Mends of The En- '
qitirer. It is now little a more than one month j
until the clubs will close for the present season, |
and as an inducement to club makers to put in
some extra good work during that time, we have
decided to offer a special premium to the person 1
who returns and pays for the largest number of ,
subscribers, i
EITHER OLD OR NEW,
Between this (lute, FEBRUARY 4, and MARCH
ft, at 1 p. in. The premium we offer in one
FIVE DRAWER IMPROVED8INGERSEWINO
MACHINE. An aeeurate description of
the machine will he found in another column, and
the machine is everything that it is represented
to he.
This premium is offered INDEPENDENT of
all other premiums, and if on the 9th of March it
is found that the person who has returned und
paid for the largest number of subscribers between
now and that date, has also returned the
largest number since our prospectus was issued
on the 29th of October, that person will receive,
in addition to the Sewing Machine, the first
premium of
$50 IN CASH.
If the person who is entitled to the Machine is
found to have returned and paid for the second
largest list since October 29, that person will, in
addition to the Machine, he entitled to the second
premium of
$30 IN CASH,
And if the person who is entitled to the Machine
is found to have retumed and paid for the third
largest list of subscribers since October 29, that
person will, in addition to the machine, receive
the third premium of
$20 IN CASH.
If the person who is found to he entitled to the
special premium Khali have returned SIXTY or
more subscribers since October 29, including
theme for which he receives this premium, hut
fails to receive either of the cash premiums, he
will be entitled to ANOTHER MACHINE, and
ifTHIRTY or more to a Machine and a WATCH.
It wjll be seen that club makers run no risk in
I working for this extra premium. We are satisI
tied that there is still room for effective work
along this line, and we trust that club makers
| will put'in the best work of the season during
j the next THIRTY DAYS, and we hope that
I new workers will enter the Held in competition
for this premium, as they will be on an
equal footing with old club makers, and it is well
worth all the effort that will be necessary to
secure it. Remember that
EITHER OLD OR NEW
Suberibers count just thesame in competition for j
this special premium. I
/?<&* Thk ExqriKKR is furnished to subscribers
in elubs at ONE DOLLAR AND SEVENTYFIVE
CENTS a year.

Is the Best Farming In
NO OTHER IMPLEMENT WILL DO
Right Now Is Tl
THERE is no doubt of the fact that no farming .
implement has ever been offered to the farm-1
ing world that has given such universal satisfaction
as the CORBIN DISK HARROW. It is
used in every State and Territory and is heartily 1
and enthusiastically endorsed by every farmer
who has ever used ft, and they are numbered by
i thousands. Practical farmers everywhere agree i
that it is, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, the most
profitable implement for cultivatingthe soil and
I in orpuin v?t Invented. It increases the
crops, saves time and saves labor.
Tne Harrow is made of first-class material
throughout, and with proper care will do good
work for fifteen or twenty years, and will pay
for itself a dozen times over. The wheels or disks
are made of the very best of steel, and will neither I
break, liend or crumble. The disks are not affected
to any appreciable extent by roeks, and
the Harrow will do good work on all kinds of
land.
The following are some of the points of suj>eriority
possessed by the Corbin Harrow :
1. It is the only Disk Harrow that is perfectly
flexible (i. e. one that will adapt itself to uneven
surfaces).
2. It is the only Harrow in which the gangs are
independent of each other?either can fit or follow
an inequality without disturbing the other.
3. It is the only Harrow having chilled boxes
and anti-friction bulls.
4. It is the only Harrow that has a successful
Seeder Attachment.
5. It is the only combined Harrow and Seeder
that covers every kernel of grain in rows like a
drill.
6. The Corbin is unequaled for lightness of
draft and power as a pulverizer.

The Harrow With Seeder Attaehfaeit.
Every Corbin Harrow, v/hateverthe alae, is arranged
so that a Seedea can be attached to it.
The Seed Box and ita machinery are of the moet
simple and compact character. All its metal
{arts are of malleable or refined wrought Iron,
ts weight is (of the size to fit the No. 7,12-disk
Harrow) about eighty pounds.
The Seeder Attachment is removable at pleasure.
It locks itself firmly to the Harrow name
by simply putting it iuto oosition. Neither bar,
bolt, wedge, key, screw o r pin, is used to fasten
it. Therefore, no hammer, wrench or other tool
is required to attach or detach it. Haifa minute

half as much as a Drill, and is a better tooL It
will sow grain as evenly ad any drill, cover it better,
and place it at any depth in the ground. It
